Stonepicker
She is scooped out and bow-like,
As if her string
Has been drawn tight.
But really, she is
Plucking stones from the dirt
For her shoulder bag.
It is her dead albatross,
Her cross, her choice,
In it lie her weapons.
Each granite sphere
Or sea-worn flint
Has weight against your sin,
You cannot win.
She calls you close,
But not to let you in, only
For a better aim.
